I have a dataframe df1 with columns as partnumber and car.
EXAMPLE:
partnumber    car
P1            1
 P2           2
  P3          1
P4            2
partnumber column needs to be stripped to remove whitespaces, if i run df1['partnumber'] = df1['partnumber'].map(lambda x:str(x).strip())
this changes the sequence of partnumber, please could you advise.
